So, will this become a full series? Non-reverse Thunderberger?
EB-O-Berger? Buzzardberger? El-two-kay-berger? 
I love me some headless bass (although the double ball-end strings are a beast to find). | Hmmm... how about an Alemberger?

| | | | Can't you get single ball adapters for most any headless system that can't take double balls, these days?

I like the thought of the Thunderberger, if for anything else, because the name is fantastic.

BTW, I've decided to go with Corvette Yellow. 
Should look great with all that black.

The pickups and the kind of pickups they are will probably not give that high-end toppy sound the 'ray is known for.

On your Rickenberger, ever thought of getting in touch with Mike Rutherford, seeing as he played both the Rickenbacker 4001 and the Steinberger M series (Which he actually helped develop, they are an unofficial Rutherford signature model) I'm sure he'd be chuffed to see two of the instruments he's associated with coming together.
